I saw an albino deer this morning!
« on: May 18, 2015, 10:26:21 AM »
On my way to work this morning SB I-5 @ Skagit/Snohomish county line approx 5:15 am. Looked to my right and and stepping out onto old 99 was an albino doe. It was pretty cool, last time I saw one I was a little kid and saw one on Orcas Island.
I will keep my guns, money and freedom. You can keep the change!

Albino or piebald?
Completey white or broken color with white like a paint horse?

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I did not see it broken up, looked all white to me, it was not dark out, fairly light out now at 5:15am.

There were two along that stretch of I-5 about five years ago.  One was totally white and the other a pinto patched mix of white and almond colored off-white, very pretty.  Once I saw them I looked for them each time past, and saw the pinto one several times.  It was the color of bleached grass in late summer and Fall and hard to spot in tall dead grass, but it was almost always with a normally colored deer.  I'd see the dark one and then pick up the light tan one near it.   It had a healthy coat, nothing to do with shedding or hair slip, etc.

Look for your white one each morning as you drive past that area.

About 10 or 12 yrs ago there was a white doe that hung out right in the same area.

I saw a albino family a couple years ago just outside of Rochester. A doe and two fawns all three were albino, it was pretty cool to see.

I used to know the answer to this but now I'm just not sure, is it legal to shoot any albino big game animal?  Of course during season with tags!
